Podolski

by u-he

Podolski interface

A free single-oscillator virtual analog synth from u-he that stays light on the CPU while covering basic bass, lead and pad duties.

Podolski is u-he's free virtual analog synth built on the FilterscapeVA engine, with one oscillator, one filter and one envelope plus an arpeggiator and delay. It ships with over 300 presets and is deliberately simple, so it works well as a first synth or as a low-CPU workhorse in big projects. Current version 1.2.3 runs natively on Apple Silicon.
